Doesn't look like it.  There is no guaranteed
mechanism to get these types of patches applied.

I suggest you resend these to a wider audience.

Jiri Kosina <trivial@xxxxxxxxxx> is the maintainer of
the "trivial" tree, some patches of this type go
through that tree every once in awhile.

Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> sometimes
picks up things like this.

Also, make sure to send the individual deletions to the
original maintainers, authors and signers of each file.

For instance:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f include/linux/platform_data/tegra_emc.h
Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (supporter:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...)
Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxx> (supporter:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...)
linux-tegra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...)

$ git log --format="Author: %an <%ae>" include/linux/platform_data/tegra_emc.h
Author: Olof Johansson <olof@xxxxxxxxx>

Lastly, if none of that works within a couple of
release cycles, send them directly to Linus.
